    Did you know that whether your aware of it or not, that there is something within you thats been clawing at you to get out.  A lion in the bushes waiting to pounce, a shark who tastes blood in the water and is ready to bite, an eagle about to snatch a fish out of…

    So I know this girl that I used to work with and I hated her with a passion.  Personality-wise she embodied everything that I hated in a person.  She thought that she was always right,  that she was above approaching any man, expected a man to take care of her, and was super cocky.  You…

    For the last few days, I catch myself staring at my son, marveling at how much he’s grown in the last year. Its not just how much he’d grown physically even though he is my little big boy. Its how much he’s grown mental and emotionally. There are things that a year ago he would…

      “To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.” ~Bertrand Russell I enjoy this quote mainly because for a long time I did fear love.  With the situation I grew up in, what I knew of love wasn’t even close to what it should be considered. …

        Growing up there was always this thought in the back of my head that I was more intelligent than I should be or somehow smarter on the inside than on the outside. I have no idea how to explain that. Anyway, this “intelligence” barred me from really identifying with people. Sure I could…

    I’ve decided that every person has their story. And each individual story has it’s past, present, and future; amongst it’s truth, lies, and everywhere in between. But what’s the point in having a story if you never open up and share it? I can’t guarantee I’ll find the time to write every day, especially with…

    It’s cold on his skin but smooth as it slightly shivers on his forehead. He’s been in this position many times before but this time it’ll end a little different. He releases a slow breath, half-sigh, half-disgust. He raises his eye to meet his masked assailant’s. There is no fear in her eyes as she…

    Of course I am talking about the Presidential election. I’ve always thought it to be very similar to a beauty pageant. The candidates put on their best smile, answer questions with rehearsed lines, and try to be as congenial as possible in public but secretly plot to bring down their competition… just as in pageants.…

    A client of mine told me something that I was surprised to hear. He pulled me to the side and told me that he has been watching me run around, handle clients, and generally be busy. He told me that I was doing a great job for somebody my age and that he was proud…
